One reason for the influx of artists to Paris at that time was that it was ridiculously affordable, especially for Americans. According to James Hinkle, “The exchange rate for French francs was about twenty-five francs to the dollar. One dollar had approximately forty times its present purchasing power. Hemingway paid 250 francs a month (about ten dollars) for his Paris apartment…For a franc, you could buy breakfast of a brioche and coffee or a drink at a first-class bar. A full dinner with wine at a decent restaurant could be had for five francs—about a quarter. e.e. cummings lived in Paris and traveled for two years on $1,000. Faulkner managed for several months on a dollar a day.” (via)
